    Bob Foster became a sheriff in New Mexco
    Tyrone Crawley became a cop in Philadelphia

    I know there must be others, who else?

    Ray Lunny III became a police officer on the west coast and I believe Clint Jackson was in law enforcement as well until he ran into some issues.

    George KO Brown turned into a police officer after his career ended. He fought pretty much everyone there was to fight, albeit mostly in losses.

    Believe Tunney Hunsaker, who Ali fought in his first professional fight, was a police officer after his boxing career ended.

    James "Bonecrusher" Smith was a prison guard. Not sure if that counts.

    Chris Eubank snr is some sort of honorary sheriff for somewhere in America, and wears his badge rather proudly. In fact I think rather insanely. Again, not sure if that counts.

    Interesting topic.

    Not quite the same thing, but I believe Sugar Hill was a Detroit police officer before he became involved in boxing with Emanuel.
